Summary

On the fourteenth episode of the Family Discipleship Podcast the hosts (Adam Griffin, Chelsea Griffin, and Cassie Bryant) talk about processing your past with your family with their friend Jordan Rogers.You can follow Jordan here on instagram and you can hear his “I Am Second” story here.Questions we addressed in this episode:
  • Have y’all thought much about how or when or even “if” you will process your personal history with your kids? 
  • What do you think are the important things to consider when a parent is thinking about processing their past with their family? 
  • I don’t know if you ever hear this, but I know I have, when a parent feels like they can’t tell their teenager NOT to do something because they know that they did it when they were their age. What do you say to the parent who feels like it’d be hypocritical to warn their kids away from choices that they’ve made poorly themselves? How can we encourage parents who feel disqualified from “leading by example”?
  • What does 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 have to do with this conversation?
  • Why is knowing how, when, and whether to process part of your past with your kids an important aspect of family discipleship modeling? 
  • Have you seen your history help you in how you raise your kids, maybe especially in how you spiritually disciple them? 
  • What does it practically look like to “be honest and use discretion?” 
  • How has your history and who you are now in Christ helped you shape the way you want to lead your home going forward?
Some of our favorite quotes from this episode:
  • “I had really positive, persistent, gospel-saturated parents and the older I get the more I realize how fortunate I was for that.” - Jordan Rogers
  • “Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.” - Bryan Stevenson
  • “We will be as honest as age appropriate about our past.” - Jordan Rogers
  • “Thank God that our bible is full of people who have broken pasts.” - Cassie Bryant
  • “The title of your story is not going to be your mistakes. God can redeem all things” - Cassie Bryant
  • "We can't lead our children any further than we are willing to go." - Jordan Rogers
  • “We cannot do a bunch of good things to make our bad things go away, but God has the power to redeem and restore and make something new.” - Chelsea Griffin
  • “I want my kids to know that God is doing miracles around us in the lives of people that we love.” - Chelsea Griffin
  • “There’s a redeemed version of Adam Griffin that gets to speak to my kids about why I am not who I was anymore.” - Adam Griffin

You're listening to the family's discipleship podcast, a podcast of Training the Church.

0:12.8

This is Adam Griffin, and before we get to our topic of the hour and our guest, let me first introduce my two lovely co-hosts.

0:19.4

First, the always hip, always caffeinated. Mrs. Cassie Brian, how are you doing today, Cassie? I'm good. I over slept today, so I'm grateful for the caffeine. Good. Need it. Wait, that should be opposite, right? Because I got more sleep than normal. I shouldn't need the caffeine. Anyway. Well, you're ready. Either way. Yeah, I'm ready. I'm here. And then the woman who changed me for the better, Chelsea Griffin.

0:57.1

How you doing today, Chelsea? I'm doing well. I'm going to keep changing you for the better. You're like a little lump of clay in my hands. Lump of clay in the hands of the potter, Chelsea Griffin. Indeed. And what a fun treat to have with us today, our good friend Jordan Rogers on this episode.

1:45.9

How you doing today, Jordan? Hey, everybody. So honored to be here. I'm a P1 of the Family Discibleship Podcast, so I'm so happy to be talking to you guys finally. That's awesome. P1 of the Family Disestablisha podcast. It's great to have you, Jordan. This is so great. Chelsea, you're good friends with the Rogers. This is how you feel about Jordan coming on here with us today? What's your excitement level? I listen to Jordan Rogers talk all the time and now we're going to do it in a more formal setting and then make other people listen to it. So I think that's for the good of everybody everywhere. So I'm excited to have Jordan here with us. Well, we don't want to, we need to hide the disappointment. You're doing a good job of hiding the disappointment that Raina's not here with us, my lovely wife, who will discuss. I know. We would love to have Raina. She's the real treat. I tell everybody that I'm happy to speak in front of any microphone put in front of me.

2:19.4

But the people who shy away from the microphone are probably who we need to be putting it in front of. And that would be my wife. She's got some hot takes. Does Rain really shy away from a microphone? And blessings as well. I said that last night to her. She said the same thing. She was like, I don't shy away from microphone. I talk. I guess she does. You're right, she's got hot takes. But I just sort of am drawn to them, you know? Or I just speak often. And anyway, so I always relish people who aren't so quick to speak. And I envy them in many ways. Yeah, I think you've got more of a platform from which to speak in some ways, and Rain needs a platform. We need to get her writing speaking. We need to get her out there,

2:25.1

man. She can have my position on the podcast. Let's just, I approve her replacing me. Cassie,

2:30.8

don't you start. Don't you dare try to, like, spontaneously retire from the podcast. Well, like we said last week, this season, we're going to do a bit of an eight episode thematic arc. We're doing an episode on each of the four pieces of the Family Discibership framework. And after each episode, we'll have a guest on for a conversation related to that part of the framework. Today we're going to talk about processing your past with your family, which is related

2:52.3

to what we talked about in last week's episode about modeling. Before we get into today's topic,

2:56.0

Cassie, can you kind of give us a quick summary of the framework of family discipleship? What are

3:00.0

modeling, time, moments, and milestones so we can kind of reset? Happy to, yeah. So we think through

3:06.7

family discipleship in like four different

3:08.3

buckets. And these buckets come naturally because they're things you're already doing, but it's

3:12.9

really kind of using your energy to point your children to the gospel through these things. So

3:17.2

modeling would be you're living a life, you love, and you worship things. And so ideally if you

3:22.7

love and follow Jesus, then it's out of an overflow of your life

3:25.9

and modeling that relationship with Jesus

3:27.5

that you are discipling your kids.

3:29.3

And they're looking to you to model what they should love,

3:32.6

what they should worship, how they should spend their time.

3:35.0

The time bucket is that intentional time that you think about

3:38.4

and you plan and you kind of prepare to be in God's word with your kids or in worship or in prayer. And so it's that time once a week. Maybe you're a go-getter and you're doing it every day. Maybe you're a once a monther where you're, you know, when the time is right, but you're thinking ahead, you're planning for it, you're prepared for it. momentsents is those like every day, you know, when you're a parent, you've got a thousand moments
